AP Science Practices
- SP1:The student can use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems.
- SP2: The student can use mathematics appropriately.
- SP3: The student can engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide investigations within the context of the AP course.
- SP4: The student can plan and implement data collection strategies appropriate to a particular scientific question.
- SP5: The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence.
- SP6: The student can work with scientific explanations and theories.
- SP7: The student is able to connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts and representations in and across domains.
- Populations are subject to natural selection which selects more successful phenotypes over time.
- Biological systems are affected by disruption to dynamic homeostasis.
- Organisms have a variety of chemical defences against infections that affect dynamic homeostasis.
- Viral replication results in genetic variation, which can introduce genetic variation into the hosts.
